525, the city of vain death
The master in the city of death in vain is the sixth brother of the ghost king, who is respectfully called the king of Bian Cheng. The souls that come here are those who have died unjustly by suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, and so on - and some of them are incomplete. This place is adjacent to the Lethe River and the Blood Basin Bitter Realm, so I came out of the Lethe River, took the ferryman's canopy boat and swam to the side of the city of vain death, and I could hear a clear and terrible cry in my ears.
Yu Sanwen couldn't help but tremble, although she had lived in the Huangquan Ghost Clan for a while and was familiar with this place, but this city was the only place she had never dared to set foot in. Yu Yue kept holding Yu Sanwen's hand tightly, and could feel cold sweat in her palms; Usually, including when I came today, I chatted with the lonely ferryman enthusiastically, but now, except for silence, Yu Sanwen has no other feelings that can be seen anymore.
"Don't be afraid, we're going to ask Uncle Six Emperors for someone, and we won't see anything too terrifying." Yu Yue comforted like this, but he knew in his heart that even he couldn't deceive this comfort. Although the souls in the city of vain death will not be tortured all the time like those souls in the Yellow Springs Hell; But they all died unjustly, and their hearts were either grief-stricken or indignant, and if they could not look forward to the day when the murderer would surrender, they wept all day long, and did nothing else.
For Yu Sanwen, this kind of painful cry like digging out his heart is the most unbearable now. The cry seemed to have a kind of magic, and as long as they heard it, they could think of the pain they had suffered in their lives, which made people shudder. The ferryman saw that Sanwen had been silent. He has been on this Lethe River for an unknown number of years, so naturally he has heard no more uneasiness, so he explained to Sanwen. "Don't be afraid, the princess won't feel anything if you hear these cries too much. In the world of people, who has not experienced pain; Sometimes, the pain is far from crying. ”
When the ferryman said this, Yu Sanwen's heart really calmed down a little; Thinking about what he said is indeed good, his own experience, plus the experience of seeing Nie Xingxu just now. Nothing could be more gripping than this cry. She sighed heavily and thanked the ferryman. And in just a short time, the city of vain death is already close at hand.
Yu Yue and Yu Sanwen jumped off the canopy boat. In front of him was a high city wall, jutting into the gray clouds; The walls of the city are surrounded by red, blood-like manju sawahs, densely surrounded by the city of vain death; And from within the city walls, there was a steady stream of gray smoke pouring outward. It's not choking, though. But it's intimidating to look at. Yu Sanwen's heart was finally calmed down by a few words from the ferryman, and at this moment, because of the tragic cry close to her ears, she was beating the drums, as if she was about to jump out of her throat, she held Yu Yue's hand tightly, and her body was unconsciously attached to his arm.
"Don't be afraid." Yu Yue turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth at Yu Sanwen.
"Who's there?"
Suddenly. A voice came; The voice was very clean and clean, and there was no meaning of mud and water at all.
Yu Yue cleared his throat. He said loudly, "Yu Yue, ask to see Uncle Six Emperors." ”
"The third prince, please come in." When the voice sounded again, the door suddenly opened; It's just very slow, and there's an old creak, which adds to the weirdness. Yu Sanwen only saw smoke from beginning to end, but did not see people; But at this time, she didn't ask much, so she obediently followed Yu Yue's side, and the two stepped into the gray smoke together.
Yu Sanwen is in the clouds, and he doesn't know where he is; And the cry in her ears became louder and louder, and she couldn't help but tremble all over; Yu Yue hugged Yu Sanwen's shoulders tightly and asked her to cover her ears, and then as if she knew how to move forward in the smoke, she took Yu Sanwen through it.
"Ahh
Before he could pass through this mist, Yu Sanwen suddenly screamed heartbreakingly. Yu Yue was startled, and hurriedly turned his head and asked Yu Sanwen what was wrong. Yu Sanwen Tie's face was blue, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand covering his ears, but just gestured to his feet with his eyes. Yu Yue looked at it, but looked at a soul with only half of its face and body left, hooking Yu Sanwen's foot with its only hand, and the remaining eye was bleeding and tearing outward, half of his mouth was closed one by one, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. No wonder Yu Sanwen was scared like this, Rao is Yu Yue grew up in the ghost clan, and he would be shocked when he suddenly saw such a soul.
"Leave!" Yu Yue roared angrily, and the soul immediately let go of its hand, and bent backwards like a snake. Yu Sanwen only felt that her heartbeat was about to stop, fortunately, she was now a member of the ghost clan, otherwise, she would have to die again. After experiencing such a thing, Yu Yue simply hugged Sanwen sideways; Although Yu Sanwen covered her ears, she was stuck to Yu Yue's chest, which finally reassured her; In this way, the two quickly left the fog. In front of me, a wide bluestone street has shown its proper appearance.
Although he had moved away from those vain souls, Yu Yue did not let go of Yu Sanwen because of this, but continued to step on the bluestone path, along the fingerprints of ghost fire jumping around, all the way forward, and the fork in the road was not good; After passing through about a dozen small houses with blue tiles, a majestic palace gradually emerged; It's just that this kind of majesty is more of a kind of deterrence, after all, the stone ladders used here are all replaced by iron chains; After stepping on the chain ladder, the temple gate is in front of you. The guard at the door saluted Yu Yue, and then personally helped him open the door. After entering again, you will be able to see King Bian Cheng sitting on a high seat.
"Yu Yue?" Seeing Yu Yue coming, King Bian Cheng was obviously a little surprised; But then his eyes quickly glanced at Yu Sanwen, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Because King Bian Cheng is the lord of the city in vain, what he hears in his ears every day is injustice, or a miserable cry. After all these years, he has already become extremely emotionally numb. After Yu Yue put Sanwen down, he bowed his hand to King Bian Cheng and said, "Sixth Emperor Uncle, I came this time to take away a soul from Sixth Emperor Uncle. ”
"You brought her to find this king before," King Bian Cheng glanced at Yu Sanwen again, and then said to Yu Yue, "This time, which girl are you going to take with you?" ”
"It's not a girl," Yu Sanwen really couldn't get used to King Bian Cheng's attitude, although King Bian Cheng was her savior before, but Yu Yue was also his relative, what was he so sneering, "It's a woman, we are here to save the land of Shenzhou." ”
"That's really great," King Bian Cheng rolled his eyes at Yu Sanwen, and then waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, this king doesn't like beating around the bush the most, get straight to the point." ”
Yu Yue simply told King Bian Cheng about Nie Xingxu and his mother's relationship, and before King Bian Cheng finished listening, he said directly, "Okay, you go to Lechuan to find Manzhu Shahua, and this king will send someone to bring that woman's soul." Anyway, if you don't waste the king's cultivation, the king still has to feed the golden toad, so let's go. ”
This is an eviction order. Yu Sanwen looked at Yu Yue, and saw that Yu Yue had already bowed, so he left the palace with Yu Yue. Later, he was hugged by the princess and left the city of vain, counting the hours, from entering to coming out, not even an hour was used.
The awning boat was already waiting on the Lethe River, as if knowing that they would come out soon. Yu Sanwen and Yu Yue got on the boat together, and after sitting firmly, listening to those miserable cries gradually disappearing, Yu Sanwen sighed; Suddenly, he remembered what King Bian Cheng had said, and couldn't help but ask Yu Yue curiously, "The golden toad in your Sixth Emperor Uncle's mouth, what is that?" ”
"Uncle Liuhuang's precious pet has been with him for hundreds of years." Yu Yue said, and then thought about what he had seen, and described it to Yu Sanwen, "He is a precious golden toad, and few people can see it." But I've seen it a few times, and remember that it was about half a man's height, and it glowed yellow like gold, but it had a lot of bumps; Its limbs are very strange, four fingers on the front foot, five fingers on the back foot, eyes and mouth are very large, the strangest thing is that once I saw Uncle Six Emperor catch a giant mosquito for it, and deliberately released it in front of it, and it actually stretched out its tongue with lightning speed, hooked a long length, and rolled the giant mosquito back into its mouth......"
"That's it!" Yu Sanwen could afford goosebumps when she heard it, Yu Yue didn't know if she was in the Huangquan Ghost Clan, but she used to be the king of the water, the princess of the Shark Clan, and she had seen too much of this creature; King Bian Cheng actually has this hobby, he is really a weird person, "I know, didn't he just raise a mutated giant toad." ”
"The prince and princess, the soul you need has been sent out of the city of vain." When Yu Sanwen was still a little sick to his stomach, the ferryman suddenly opened his mouth like this.
"This King Bian Cheng is really efficient." Although he still had a bad impression of King Bian Cheng, Yu Sanwen still unconsciously had some praise for his speed.
"I'll send the prince and princess to the other side of Lethe." The ferryman sped up, and Yu Sanwen looked towards the city of vain death from a distance, as if he saw a vague figure, but from that figure was not a terrible cry, but one after another, seemingly endless sighs.
She ...... She's sighing? Yu Sanwen was a little confused, she didn't know why this woman was just sighing, not crying, crying out her reluctance to give up on life.
Yu Yue nodded, this sigh did spread far away, and he heard it clearly, "I probably didn't expect her to save her son, but her son did such a hurtful thing." (To be continued......)
